Referrals are made through the Westminster City Council Housing Solutions Team
Transitional Service
The transitional service offers short‑term accommodation for up to 12 weeks. During this time, staff work closely with each person to understand their strengths, needs, and future housing options. Support focuses on improving health and wellbeing, building daily living skills, strengthening support networks, and preparing for the next stage of housing. The aim is to help people move on safely and sustainably into longer‑term accommodation.
Housing‑Led Service
The housing‑led service is inspired by Housing First principles. People are offered stable accommodation alongside voluntary but intensive floating support. Support is flexible and led by the individual, focusing on harm reduction, independence, and long‑term housing success. Each person creates their own support plan with their caseworker, based on what matters most to them.
